| 1485635 | 2022-04-18 05:48:00 | A family member has bought a Netgear Nighthawk AX4200 router to replace their Netgear D6200 modem/router but we cannot get the Nighthawk connected to the internet . We removed the yellow ethernet cable from the D6200 and put in the Nighthawk and the power, wi-fi and WPS LED lights lit up white but the internet LED stays red . As with the D6200 the internet cable is plugged in to a Huawei HG8240 fibre modem . We can connect to the wi-fi but cannot browse the internet . In the manual it states: "Internet port . One Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 WAN port to connect the router to an Internet modem such as a cable modem or DSL modem . " Does this mean that it is not compatible with fibre?? |

It tells me it's a router only, not a modem. |

| 1485639 | 2022-04-18 22:10:00 | Nighthawk AX4200 router . . . . . . the internet cable is plugged in to a Huawei HG8240 fibre modem . you are double NATing , so VLAN , login/pass etc doesnt apply on the AX4200 . as is . Dont do it this way (even though it should have worked) Set the thing up properly . Dont use 2 routers . Setup the Nighthawk as the ONLY router (ISP login/pass, VLAN), take out the HG8240 assuming the AX4200 is compatible with ISPs required settings |

Thanks, I'll have a look and check that the next time I go around there. |

I'll check the settings again the next time I go over there. |

Yes , thats exactly what I mean the Nighthawk is a ROUTER , not a wireless AP (it could do both though). www.pbtech.co.nz setup the nighthawk as the fibre router , remove the Huawai , problem solved or keep the Huawai, and configure the Nighthawk as a Wireless AP (ie not a router) |
